Family Law

Jerry D. Porter,
Erin S. Whitehead

Our firm understands that family law is intensely personal and emotional. Family law issues are some of the most difficult and sensitive issues our clients face during their lifetime. From our Austin office, we provide professional support to assist our clients in making informed and reasoned decisions. We strongly support a new approach known as “collaborative family law.” Where possible, we utilize collaborative family law to reduce the stress, animosity, and costs associated with divorces. We represent clients in a wide range of family law matters in Travis, Williamson, Hays, and surrounding Counties, including the following:

• contested divorce, including complex property and debt division cases;
  
• collaborative family law;
  
• child custody, support, and visitation;
  
• alimony, maintenance, and spousal support;
  
• contempt and enforcement proceedings;
  
• legal separation and separation agreements;
  
• post-divorce issues, including modification or termination of support, visitation, or custody; and
• alternative dispute resolution through negotiation, collaborative law, mediation, and arbitration.
